FAST FACTS:
- Trailer Park Boys is the top-rated Canadian series on specialty television.*
- The final episode of season four of Trailer Park Boys, which aired Sunday May 30, 2004, brought in the highest audience for an episode of a Canadian-produced series on English specialty television in the past 5 years.**
- Trailer Park Boys is a ‘mockumentary’ comedy series which follows the story of Ricky (Robb Wells), Julian (John Paul Tremblay) and Bubbles (Mike Smith) – three guys whose view of the world has been shaped by their experience growing up in a trailer park.
- Trailer Park Boys was created by director Mike Clattenburg, and was based on his debut feature film of the same name.
- In April 2004, the series began airing in the United States on BBC AMERICA. Trailer Park Boys airs on Showcase in Canada on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
- This Showcase Original series is shot on digital video in Halifax, Canada by Trailer Park Productions and Topsail Entertainment. Mike Volpe of Topsail Entertainment is Executive Producer while Barrie Dunn and Mike Clattenburg are Producers.
- The Trailer Park Boys have appeared in music videos for the Tragically Hip and Snow, two Canadian bands. Alex Lifeson, the guitarist from the rock band Rush, played himself in an episode of season 3.
- Trailer Park Boys is unlike anything else on Canadian television. The series features an absolutely imperfect take on the world of the trailer park, loosely scripted by a cast of mostly local talent and based somewhat on their personalities. TPB won a Gemini Award (Canada’s version of the Emmys) in 2004 for Best Comedy Series.
- Since its premiere, the series has built an extremely loyal following – even in reruns there is no sign of Trailer Park Boys slowing down.
